I was just thinking about instructors I've had in the past that relied too heavily on the curriculum given by the institution or college. While a curriculum is important to follow, the instructors that mereely followed the curriculum seemed uninspired. The instrutors that stood out in my mind always went above and beyond and included supplemental materials. The supplemental materials and additional learning activities expanded on the curriculum and displayed the instructor's enthusiasm towards the subject. When an instructor is enthusiastic and inspired, it is contagious and motivates the students.
